Knitted Man & Stop Motion Animation

After knitting bunnies, I made a MAN! hahahah
but not an oridinary man..... He is a character from a SciFi short film, Haexagon. 

The man is using the basic method but the suit was fun to make.

1. knit 2 pants in flat, separately

2. join them together with extra sts for the body

3. add 2 sleeves (I made in circular as I hate sew them at the end, esp in dark color yarn)

4. after join the sleeves to the body, then knit the cap in 2 sides

5. join the hat's 2 sides together

6. add a zipper

7. hand stitch 2 logo badges 

8. hand stitch the brand name :P

 sooooo much fun to making this!!!!

As a gift for the team of this short film, so I think I should make a little "short film" too!!!!

So, try the first time to make a Stop Motion Animation with iMovie. Using music from iMovie and help from my bf (of cos). 

Voila!!!!!

Sharing with you here is my FIRST EVER Stop Motion Animation!!!! 

At the end, here is the website of this SciFi Short Film from Hong Kong, http://www.00c6.org/#!vstc0=trailer/videos.
